This Week in Bisbee Person of the Week!
Allison Decosta had a vision about Bisbee, specifically about the stage door at St. Elmo. When she arrived here, she saw it and said “holy fuck, that’s the door!” She arrived here on her birthday, saw the door, and then saw her future husband Matt walk through it. Allison and Matt are raising 2 children in the outskirts of Bisbee, living the off-grid life. Tell her you saw her in TWIB!
